USING 12 ALTERNATOR CHECK (PRESS ALT-CHECK IN STANDBY)
Alternator % (12V only) – Before the charger is connected with the battery which is well
settled in the vehicle and ALTN CHECK button is pressed, start the vehicle and turn on the
vehicle's headlights. The digital display shows an estimated output percentage of the vehicle's
charging system connected to the charger's battery clamps, compared to a properly functioning
system. The alternator percent range is from 0% to 100%, and LCD will show "OUTPUT GOOD".
Readings below 0% (13.2 volts) will be regarded as LOW (LCD show "OUTPUT LOW") and
readings above 100% (14.6 volts) will regarded as HIGH (LCD show "OUTPUT HIGH"). If you
get a LOW or HIGH reading, have the electrical system checked by a qualified technician.
USING 12 BATTERY HEALTH CHECK
This mode is the advanced mode that takes a close look at the health of LEAD-ACID battery.
Following parameters are what the charger checks to determine battery health.
CCA (Cold Cranking Amperage): The starting current that the battery can provide
to the engine at low temperature. More than 30% of the labeled value is normal,
and less than 30% of the labeled value requires replacement of batteries.
SOC (State of Charge): The ratio of the remaining capacity of the battery after a period of time or
long-term shelf to the capacity of its fully charged state, commonly expressed as a percentage. When
SOC = 0, the battery discharges completely, and when SOC = 100%, the battery is fully charged.
SOH (State of Health): The ratio of performance parameters after a period of service to
nominal parameters of batteries. SOH of new battery is 100% and reject battery is 0%.
Internal Resistance: The larger the internal resistance, the worse
the capacity of the battery to absorb electricity.
How to operate: Press CCA TEST button will enter CCA RATE SET, you can press "+" and "-" button to
set CCA rate and default value is 500. When CCA rate has been set, press CCA button again, and LCD
will display the actual CCA, SOH, SOC, and internal resistance. If SOC is less than 15% which means
the battery power is very low, the CCA detection value may be incorrect, LCD will display "RETRY
AFTER CHARGE", please try to charge the battery and try the BATTERY HEALTH CHECK mode again.
